THE COLONIES. [From The Quebec Gazette] UPPIi.;R. CANADA. ITOUSE-OF ASSEMBLY, THURSDAY, MARCH 24. The tolloving Resolutions were sent down fromtie Legislative Council : 'I he Honourable the Legislative Council, in consideration of the resolutions of the House of Aisrntbly*, delivered yesterday at the bar of this 11,,tise by two of its Members, Resolved, 'That the Legislative Council and 11 , nise of Assembly of the Province of Upper Ca- Latta are co-ordinate branches of a limited Le gislature, constituted by the Statute enacted in the 31st year of his Majesty's reign. That all powers, immunities, and privileges of either branch, are derived from that Statute, 'and extended to their respective advice and consent to his Majesty to make laws not repugnant to that act, for the peace, welfare, and good government of the Province. That in adopting the order and course of pro ceeding to advise and consent to laws, this Hoose does not assume the powers, authority., and pri vileges of the Upper House of Parliament, grown out of the practice of ages, and unsuitable to the circenwseces of this colony. That the House of Assembly, adopting as its type the Commons House of Parliament, and claiming all the powers, immunities, and privi leges thereof, is not justified by-the words or spi rit of its constitution, more than the Legislative Council would be justified to assume to itself and its Members the powers, immunities, and privi leges of the Upper House of Parlietnent. That the origin o: all supplies in either House, or exclusively in the House of Assembly, must be indifferent, so long as either House retains the power of rejection ; that the exercise of the right to emend an original bill is equally indifferent, except that without the exercise of the right, or the resort to amicable conference between the two Houses, time is wasted and the public ser vice (Hayed. That the House of Assembly did, by resolutions delivered at the bar of this House, declare, that it would not accede to any conference on the sub ject of a Money Bill. That the amenthnent made to. the Bill, entitled ". An Act to make further provision' for regulat ing the trade between this Province and the United States of America," by the- Legislative Council, were to conform to a national regulation of trade, imparted to both Houses of his Majes ty's Government, to reduce the burtheus of the people, of whom the individuals of this House are a .part, only distinguished by the duty imposed upon them in their legislative capacity, to protect, defend, and support the interest of the whole. That having no means of interchanging opi nion with the House of Assembly, but by wkiy of conference or amendments, the Legislative Coun cil does not consider it reasonable that such amendments should be treated as a breach of pri vilege ; and that baring declared by esolu lions transmitted to the House of Assembly, that it would forbear amendments to Money Bills, such resolutions ought to afford reasonable satis faction to that House (even if its privileges had been violated), and restore the course and harmony of proceeding in the public business. That these Resolutions be communicated by the'proper officer of this House to the House of Assembly, and that the same, together with the resolutions of the House of Assembly of the 19th and 23d instant, delivered at the Witt of this House, and the first resolutions of this House thereupon, be printed. Legislative Council Chamber, March 24,1818. Resolved Nem. Con.—Thm this House in per sisting in their right to reject all amendments made by the I-lon. the Legislative Council, to Bills for raising and appropriating monies, and to decline all conferences thereon-, are ass u ming; to themselves no new•privilege, but are only ad hering to the form - of proceedimg which has been maintained from the first est ablishment of the Provincial Legislature, and in which they have taken for their guide the representative form of the Constit u tion of the Mother Country;by which that of this Province is modelled, and by which the Legislative Council have, in all their proceed ing., equally governed themselves, whatever it May snit their present purpose to disclaim. Resolved, Neat. Con.—That as this House de sire to make no innovation, so they are determin ed to stiffer none, bet will persist in maintaining in all their deliberations those rules they have found established, and which, being coeval with their constitution, they consider it would be as inconsistent with their duty as it is repugnant to their inclinations to abandon. It was then ordered that the speeches of his Excellency John Graves Sirncoe, Esq. at the open ing and prorogation of the first . Parliament of this Province, together with the answers thereto, be inserted in the Journals of the House. To his Royal Highness GEORGE PRINCE of WALrs, Regent of the ['tilted Kingdoms of Great Britain and Ireland. ,May it plca , e your Royal Highness, We, his Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects the Commons House of Assembly of Upper Ca nada in Parliamen'. assembled, humbly be g . leave to ad:lress your Royal Highness, with feelings of the most unfeigned duty and respect, and to ex ) Fess, in the name of the people of this Province, t eir grateful sense of the blessings entailed upon them and their posterity by your Royal House, giving to them, in the plenitude of its powers and privileges, the very image and transcript of the glorious Constitution of Great Britain, which has withstood ti►e shock of Empires, the test of fi;4'rs, and stands toweringly elevate►! to the highest pitch of glory under the auspices of your illust;•i ous Pace. - f-JA not the people of this Colony the best of a ll pr o 4s to offer to your Royal Highness, of the sincerity of their professions of personal attach., Tnrt►t---i•atl not,the blood of their Youths flowed freely on . the.very ground given to their loyal and pAqiotic :fathers —had they not at the hazard of life and property made good beyond dispute, ;he These Resolutions are in a preceding Paper, which has nut yet reached us. solemn pledlie of faith and loyalty to the parent coontry, they might have shrunk back from . 7 seetions doubtful, because untried—the ohjeirtion however does.. not exist—and they claim the high consideration, privileges, and immunities of British subjects. Having thus humbly laid open to your Royal Highness the u ndisgoised effusion of Our hearts, we beseech your Royal Highness's attention to the declaration of his Excellency John Graves Simcoe, in his Speech from the Throne, at the opening of the first Session of the Legislature of this Province ; at which important crisis, in lan goage the most emphatical and enthusias:ic, he pronodgated the Constitution given to Upper Canada, by the wisdom and beneficence of the Parliament of Great Britain, and which was fully and exultingly recognized, by the answer to his speech by the Legislative Council, through their enlightened Speaker, the late Chief Justice Os goode. The expression of public sentiment upon that occasion, characterized the people on whom the gracious (moo was bestowed. And we, the Representatives of that people, jealous of the trea sure, and onwilling to yield op the slightest par ticle of the sacred trust, or to disgrace by posila nimity the public spirit of the country, humbly submit to your Royal H ghness tin abstrac• of the proceedings of the present Session of the Le gislature of this Province, wherein your Royal Highoess's faithful Commons conceive their con stitutional rights anti privileges have been vitally assailed by the resolutions of the Honourable Legislative Council ; delivered to the Speaker of Commons House 'of Assembly, and evidently intended to limit and depreciate in public estima tion its functions, by the avowal of their consi deration of its powers, as resolved by them, and to he printed, with a view, no doubt, of being bla zoned to-the world. The consequent interruption of harmonious in tercourse indicated by the Legislative Council, could not otherwise but tend to pit nn end to public business, and to prevent the Commons House of Assembly from prom:Wing by hill a sup ply to meet the excess of the eivil expenditure of' the Administration of the Government of this Province, as required of them, byi a message, dur ing time present Session, communicated by his Ma jesty's Representatives ; nor could any other means be adopted on the part of the Commons, to meet the exigence, without recourse to prac tice not unfrequent in their Parliamentary usage, of voting the amount by address. The answer received by his Majesty's faithful Commons, in reply-from the Administrator of the Goveroment, as recorded in their Journals, they do not hesitate to consider ill-advised, as the service for which the vote was provided was that of the actual sub ject of the message from the Crown, to which no possible doubt of the approbation of the Legisla• tore could have been contemplated ; it,' however, strongly marks in a national and constitutional point of %new the evil that Most ever result from the Legislative and Executive functions' being waterially vested in the same persons, as is orvor tonately the case in this Province, where is Ma jesty's Executive Council is 'almost wholly Com posed of the- Legislatim e Body, and.consisiine only of the Deputy SuperintenAlYstWreivenil oft he lodian Department, the Receiver• General, and the In spector-General, the Chief Justice, the Speaker of the Legislative Council, anti the Hon. and Rev. ChaplWn of that House. - His Majesty's faithful Commons of Upper Ca nada, having thus performed -time imperious duty which their peculiar circumstances called for. have only further to implore of your Royal Highness to give their representation the mature reflection that is due to its importance, as his Majesty's faithful Commons are sanguine in the hope, that the voice of your Royal Highness will approbate their resolutions, and firm determination to pre serve inviolate their civil and constitutional rights in their tidiest amplification Commons House of Assembly March 30,1818. This Address WAS followed by another to the Administrator, requesting him to forward the same. To His Honour Samuel Smith, Esq. Administrator of the Government of Upper Canada. M-ay it please your Himont . , We, his Majesty's most dutiful and loyal sub jects, the Commons of Upper Canada, in Provin cial Parliament assembled, having resolved that an Humble Address be presented to his Roy►l Highness the Prince Regent, humbly beg leave to play that your Honour will be pleased to transmit the same to his Royal Highness. MARCH 30, 1818.—To which the Administra tor was pleased to make the following Reply : Gentlemen,---I cannot undertake to transmit to his Royal Highness the Prince Regent any Ad dress of the purport of which I am not informed in the usual manner, by a copy or the origi nal. Government House, March 31, 1518. After which no further b►►siness was transacted by the Commons, except to instruct their Speaker to forward a ►luplicate of all their papers to their Provincial Agent in England. LOWER CANADA. [From The Quebec Gazette.) Provincial Secretary's Odiec, Quebec, June :5, 18113..

The weather in this Province has been excess sively warm for several days past. In the Lo , ver Town the Thermometer in the shade has been up as highas 94. The crops and pastures on the Gl►lands begin to suffer from the heat and dronght. We ale anthorized to state, that the accounts of the sinhing of Mortisset's Schoouer, at Ca rouge, by the Car of Commerce, as inserted in sccetal Ne‘vsp:lrers, is materially incorrect. As the sul)ject, t..e understand, will be brought be fore a Court of Justice, we forbear entering into particulars. The name of the woman who unfortunately pe rished, was Tileise Giniac, Widow Germain. — She was on a visit to her son at Quebec. She was about 65 years of age, had on a drugget pet ticoat, black mantlet, and yellow handkerchief. — She had some title deeds and keys in her pocket. She is thus described at the request of her son, Alexis Germain, Mason, St. John Suburbs, Que bec, with a view to enable 'humane persons who may find the body, to give him notice thereof, and afford her Christian Burial. COURT OF KINGS BENCH, QUEBEC. QuittonF.r and Al. vs. Is aac WI I,SOX. This was an action for goods sold and delivered, and the plaintiffs recovered Judgment on the 17th April last, fur 531. ss. Execution issued on the 7th May last ; and on the 25th of the same month, the defendant filed an opposition a fin d'annuller, alleging that since the institution of this action, he had in satisfac tion of the present debt advanced to the plain tiffs (Auctioneers and Brokers) divers goods, wares and merchandizes, for which they had not accounted, nor placed to his credit. The Sheriff returned the Vrit of Execution, and the opposition filed by the defendant, who made default, and did not. appear to maintain his opposition. Whereupon a rule was granted, upon notice of Counsel for plai n tiffs, calling upon de % fendant to spew cause why an attachment should not issue against him for contempt, in having vexatiously opposed the Writ,. knowing the alle gations in his opposition to have been groondless. The defendant did not appear to answer to the rule. Affidavits, contradicting in the most positive manner the facts stated in the defendant's oppo sition, were produced. An affidavit was also pro duced by the Bailiff who had seized the defer', cant's moveables, pursuant to the Writ of Exe coition, from which it appeared that the defen dant had acted evasively, by endeavouring to pre vail upon him (the Bailiff) to delay seizing, under promises of paying the sum demanded, from time to time. The cause was put en delibere ; and on the 20th of June instant,—present, Mr. Justice Perrault and Mr. Justice Bowen, Mr. Justice Perrault (in the absence of the Chief Justice, occupied at the sitting of the Court of Oyer and Tern - liner) delivered the. opinion of the Court, .by stating, that the present being a question of material importance, he had thought it his duty to take the opinion of his brother the Learned Chief Just ice, who, be was happy to say, coincided with his brother tiowen:and himself, in the Judgment w hick the Court was about to render. Oppositions to the Writs of Execution issuing from that Court had recently...been so frequently and vexatiously resorted to by debtors, for the purpose of delaying suitors in the recovery of their just debts, as to threaten the most serious inconveniences to the public, and to render the administration of justice nugatory. It therefore behoved the Court to •adpilt speedy and effectual meastnes, as well to assert.the respect doe to it, self as .to insure to the subject the due admini. stratihn of justice in that Court....lhe present opposition called for animadversion, as the facts alleged in it were false, as appeared bs''tbe•affida vits produced by the plaintiffs' Counsel, and as, it evidently appeared intended to obtain .delay, the defendant • not- having even appeared to, maintain his opposition. Under these circumstances, the Court could not consider the conduct of the de fendant in • any other light _than as contempt, and therefore made the rule absolute. QUEBEC, JUNE, 29, 1818. This day's Post has brought a report of the storming of Pensacola, the capital of the Floridas, by the American Army under General Jackson. The report is noticed in the Ametican Official Paper published at Washington, as being given in letters from Georgia.. It will probably- prove correct. A few months will show to what length the Governtneut of the United States may go in Ame rica, without excising the jealousy anti resistance of the European Governments. It seems to us that' the seizure of Amelia Island is a parallel, on a smaller theatre, to the entry of Buonaparte's troops into Spain, under pretence of intestine di visions. The seizure, on neutral territory, and execution of Arbuthnot and Ambristie, is fully as unjustifiable as the seizure and execution of the Duke of Enghein ; and the storming of Pen cola is at least equally as atrocious as the mos- SaCrea of Madrid.

We have received from M. de Nl6( the 411' °'9ll °— Prussian Minister at Rome, and one of distinguished literary characters of Germ ths,, authentic declaration of M Belzoni , a 10°21°' Architect, relative to his having effect ed an '1); trance into the interior of a Pyramid , a PlAel„g which has been in vain attempted by many °— braced travellers for centuries past : iat On tire 18th February last , M B elzon his own expellee, began his project of opeei° , L, way into the 4econd pyramid of Gizeh, called I"; of Chefrem.
